As everyone said, they tend to attract the most attention. Look no further than Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Morrison.
Simple, the vocals are unique but in the vast majority of cases one musician is as good as 1000's of others. The vocals define the group, in most cases you can even discard all the other members and so long as you keep the vocals the IP is alive.Rule Britannia said:Could somebody please explain the logic behind this
It's definitely not a natural born talent. In some cases it is but is what you're saying you can't improve? Anyone can sing, just not very well.Rule Britannia said:I understand completely that there is a certain style to singing and amking your voice do stuff can be difficult but in my eyes it's a natural born talent. (you can either sing or you can't. that sorta thing)
What exactly is the difference between an instrumental band and an orchestra besides 'the latter has more instruments?' I feel that both can achieve the same results as both can use the same instruments to an extent.EightGaugeHippo said:If you had an instrumental band (orchestras don't count). You could make brilliant music, but your songs would not have any meaning. And in turn wouldn't draw the attention of the listener.
Not liking the bassist is a crime. Without the harmony, a song would sound stupid. I also prefer the sound of a bass in a song rather than the guitar.[sub]If a bass is present in a band, a guitar is usually present as well[/sub].SilentJay22 said:I like to recognize each individual in the band. Yes, even the bassist. I love bass.
Instruments can convey emotions. Tell me, is this song joyous or melancholy?EightGaugeHippo said:You cannot communicate proper emotion through instruments as they do not speak any human language, you can only interpret emotion.
Many would say the same thing about playing guitar, synth, drums etc. Your voice is an instrument, like any other, requiring some raw talent, yes, but also, MUCH much practice and patience.Rule Britannia said:I understand completely that there is a certain style to singing and amking your voice do stuff can be difficult but in my eyes it's a natural born talent. (you can either sing or you can't. that sorta thing) I also understand that to be able to sing in tune can be learnt but it's nothing like just being able to do it naturally.
Maybe I am reading it wrongly but that sentence doesn't make much sense to me. Anyway instruments can convey emotion try watching Bambi without the sound because at least for me it really takes the joy out of the scenes and the weight out of his mum's death. Although this is usually used to describe music telling a story Word Painting is what it is called when music does what you say it can't.EightGaugeHippo said:You cannot communicate proper emotion through instruments as they do not speak any human language, you can only interpret emotion.
I'd easily argue that you're wrong. I'd say that, more often than not, there is much more emotion in instruments, broadly speaking. This applies especially to piano.EightGaugeHippo said:You cannot communicate proper emotion through instruments as they do not speak any human language, you can only interpret emotion.
In this song, you cannot pull any emotional or any other connection from the music.
It is a brilliant piece, but there is nothing for us as human beings to relate to.
In this song, you can clearly understand what kind of emotion is being projected.
Because it has lyrics, and we can understand him.
